My dog, Baker, a 14-year-old Irish Terrier mix, was seen last Friday due to decreased eating and drinking with some vomiting. He was given Flagyl, special food, and shots to help with nausea and vomiting. Throughout the week, he would only eat some meat (turkey and beef) but refused the special food and Flagyl. In the last couple of days, he has not been eating but has been drinking a decent amount. Today, he has thrown up bile about four times and had several bowel movements that were liquid and looked like black tar. He seems more tired than usual, has a slow walk, and was found to have a 'mass' on his spleen but couldn't determine for sure what it was due to poor intake at the time. Is there any further advice or should we take him to the vet immediately?

My 7-month-old pitbull puppy is in heat and has been bleeding for about a week. Her peeing has become more frequent, leading to accidents, and she seems to have blood in her urine. She was also hit by a car about a week ago but seemed normal afterward. Should I take her to the ER, or can I wait until Monday to see her vet?

My dog, Cookie, has tapeworms confirmed by a fecal test. I have been treating her with turmeric, crushed pumpkin seeds, and parsley water for several weeks, but I still spotted worms. Is 4 weeks not long enough for a holistic treatment? Are these new worms or the same ones? What should I do next?

My dog, Sophie, a 4 1/2-month-old puppy, has had several diarrhea episodes today. The only unusual thing she ate was a small bite of an egg I cooked this morning. What could be causing this and what should I do?
